The Tomcat's of VMA 311 were formed early in the Second World War as Hell's Bells and flew Texans, Corsairs, Shooting Stars, Panthers, Cougars, and Skyhawks before converting to the AV-8B's in 1988. Currently based at MCAS Yuma, they have deployed multiple times both embarked with USN carriers and to forward deployment ashore locations and fly AV-8B+ Harrier II's. One of those jets, BuNo 165581, is a remanufactured, radar equipped AV-8B(R) and is depicted here loaded with a pair of GBU-54 Laser JDAM 500 lb bombs ready for a sortie from a foward depoyment field. She also carries a pair of external fuel tanks, a AN/AAQ-28 Litening Advanced Targeting Pod on the centerline, and a podded GAU-12 25 mm Gatling gun.

About seven months after the Pearl Harbor attack, VMF 214 was formed in Hawaii and deployed to the New Hebrides a month later. They were joined by their new Commanding Officer, Maj Gregory Boyington. Under "Pappy's" leadership, during their first shore based combat tour they damaged or destroyed 203 aircraft, multiple ships, attacked myriad ground targets, produced nice fighter "aces," and won a Presidential Unit Citation.

After flying the F4F Wildcat and F4U Corsair during WW2, the Black Sheep have operated the F9F Panther, F2H Banshee, FJ Fury, and from 1989 until 2022 the AV-8B Harrier II. Operating both the radar equipped AV-8B+ and the depicted AV-8B Night Attack jet, they are currently based at MCAS Yuma and are transitioning to the F-35B.

164117 is depicted in a 3-tone grey camo pattern loaded for a Close Air Support sortie. She carries a pair of MK 89 Snake Eye high drag bombs on the outboard stations and another six mounted on TER-9 racks on the middle wing stations. Inboard, she has a pair of 330-gallon external tanks. Under her belly, she carries a pair of pod mounted 25mm cannons with 300 rounds each and full magazines of chaff and flare expendables.

In line with their motto "First in all things," No 1(F) Squadron was not only the RAF's first airplane squadron, they were the very first squadron to operate a VTOL airplane... the Harrier. They flew those original version jets from 1969 until converting to the new Harrier II GR5's in 1988. One of those GR5's, ZD335, is depicted deployed to Nellis AFB participating in Red Flag. She is loaded with a pair of CBLS dispensers each carrying four 3 kg practice low drag bombs, an AIM-9 missile for self defense, a ACMI pod for tracking and debriefing, a pair of external wing tanks, and a pair of ADEN 25 mm gun pods.

A development of the original Sea Harrier FRS.1, the FA.2 Shar served with the Royal Navy from 1988 though late March 2006 when the last jets from 801 Squadron were retired from service. The FA.2 featured the more powerful Mk 106 Pegasus engine, updated cockpit displays and a new ejection seat, and extensive avionics updates, but the most significant change was the addition of a radar guided missile capability courtesy of the AIM-120 AMRAAM and larger Blue Vixen radar. The redesigned nose to fit the radar was perhaps the easiest way to differentiate the FA.2 from its FRS.1 predecessor.

ZH613 is shown at her home station of RNAS Yeovlten ready for an air-to-air training sortie, configured with empty fuselage missile pylons and inner wing pylons and a single captive carry AIM-9L training missile.

During their conversion to the “Night Attack” AV-8B NA in 1989, the Black Sheep subsequently added the radar equipped AV-8B+ to their inventory. Distinguishable by the reshaped nose, housing the same AN/APG-65 radar carried by the F/A-18.
